First of 3 trigs on an 18 mile hike from Dufton YHA to Knock Old Man, Great Dun Fell and Cross Fell returning via Ranbeck, Milburn and Knock. Clear, moody day and bitterly cold on the tops with ice forming on the grass, fences and cairns

Walked over from Cross Fell in thick clag, rain and wind. Great Dun Fell is a Nuttall, hence the visit, but also to cheer on an attempt at the Pennine Way record. Conditions so bad and I was over an hour up on his schedule that I decided to get off the hills. Good choice....but "Mother Earth Ship" looked very spooky in the conditions. One of the best words of advice I have been given with navigation is, "always trust your compass". True and the 2 trigs are for them.

Several masts on the site, but nothing at the GR. OS record it destroyed January 1968.

Plenty junk to replace the original mast. Couldn't see the golf ball from the masts owing to fog.

15 mile circular from Millburn ticking off the 4 highest mountains in the Pennines. Up over very boggy ground onto Cross Fell, Little Dun Fell, Great Dun Fell and Knock Fell, back down non-existent paths to Millburn, clear and sunny. The day before we were in the Lakes doing the Helvellyn ridge also in clear and sunny conditions.

Thick mist today no sign of original mast. There are two smaller masts of recent origin and a large "golf ball"
